Check if current user is in a specified group Using SPServices
What is SPService? :
SPServices is a jQuery library which abstracts SharePoint's Web Services and makes them easier to use. It also includes functions which use the various Web Service operations to provide more useful (and cool) capabilities. It works entirely client side and requires no server install. We can say SPService is independent of SharePoint version. Write once execute any SharePoint environment. It will reduce the lot burden on the server by running the business logic on the client browser rather than in SharePoint Server.
